Holt Renfrew took their annual gala, always the festival’s most fashionable bash, to new heights last night—the very top of The Burroughes Building, much to the dismay of spike-heeled attendees. No sooner had we reached the top of our social climb, joining Westons and Queen Westers alike, when we heard a dismayed gasp coming from a woman staring at Coco Rocha.
Rocha, co-star of the Holt Renfrew shopping vignettes, which played on a screen during the party, slinking about in a raven, plume-shouldered gown designed by Greta Constantine. Reportedly set to wear a dress from another local designer, it seemed she’d pulled a fast one. So, just as quickly, we found our inner modelizer and chatted up Canada’s super sweetheart to get the scoop.
TIFF.TO: So, unexpected question. What are you wearing?
COCO: Greta Constantine, of course! These are my boys. (Gestures to designers Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong, clustered among her halo of admirers.)
TIFF.TO: Not Pink Tartan?
COCO: Pardon?
TIFF.TO: Never mind. Are you excited for your movie debut?
COCO: Well, it’s not really a movie. It’s just me and my BFF [model Behati Prinsloo] fooling around. It’s fun.
TIFF.TO: A lot of real movie actresses say they won’t watch themselves on screen.
COCO: Why not?
TIFF.TO: Oh, who knows? That’s just what serious actresses like to say.
COCO: But I can’t be serious! I’m happy to see it, yeah. It’s really fun.
